Giants Attempted to Trade Saquon Barkley After Franchise Tag, per Report

The Giants and running back Saquon Barkley stunned the NFL world on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $11 million plus incentives for this season. The news comes just a week after the two sides couldn’t agree to a long-term deal before the deadline for franchise-tagged players.

While New York negotiated with Barkley’s representation over a long-term contract, the team reportedly explored the possibility of trading the running back. According to Pro Football Talk, the Giants called at least a dozen teams after tagging Barkley in the spring looking for a trade partner, something that Barkley reportedly requested New York to do.
